purpose made mains lead
which can only be obtained
from a BLOMBERG Authorised
Service Agent.
Warning! This Appliance
Must Be Earthed
If the fitted moulded plug is
not suitable for your socket,
then the plug should be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted.
Destroy the old plug which is
cut off as a plug with bared cord

with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your
plug proceed as follows: (See
diagram).
1. Connect the green-yellow
or green (Earth) wire to the
terminal in the plug marked
‘E’ or with the symbol or
coloured green and yellow or
green.
2. Connect the blue (Neutral)
wire to the terminal in the plug
marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
3. Connect the brown (Live) wire
to the terminal in the plug
marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
4. With alternative plugs a 13 A
fuse must be fitted either in the
plug or adaptor or in the main
fuse box. If in doubt contact a

Energy Saving Tips
1. Ensure your appliance is
installed in a well ventilated
area.
2. Ensure the time between
buying chilled/frozen food and
placing them in your appliance
is kept at minimum, particularly
in summer. We recommend
you use a cool bag or a special
carrier bag to carry perishable
food.
3. Do not leave the door (s) of
your appliance open longer
than necessary and ensure
they are closed properly after
each opening.
4.Defrost frozen food in the fridge,
so that frozen food acts as an
ice pack to assist cooling in
fridge.

4 Before operating
Starting
Final Check
Before you start using the freezer
check that:
1. For a freestanding appliance;
‘this refrigerating appliance is not
intended to be used as a built-in
appliance.
2. The front feet have been
adjusted so the appliance is level.
3. The interior is dry and air can
circulate freely at the rear.
4. Clean the interior as
recommended under “CLEANING
AND CARE.”
5. Insert the plug into the wall
socket and switch on the electricity
supply. Avoid accidental disconnection
by taping over the switch, the
compressor will start running in about
five minutes.
6. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid and
gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
whether the compressor is running or
not which is quite normal.
7. Do not load the appliance
immediately it is switched on. Wait
until the correct storage temperature
has been reached. We recommend
that you check the temperature
with an accurate thermometer
(see;Temperature Control and
Adjustment)..
8. Front edges of the cabinet may
feel warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
9. We recommend that you set
the thermostat at MIN setting and
monitor the temperature to ensure the
appliance maintains desired storage
temperatures
10. (See Temperature Control and
Adjustment section).
Important Notes :
11. If there is a power failure do not
open the door. Frozen food should not
be affected if the failure lasts for less
than 17 hours. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and
either eaten immediately or cooked
and then re-frozen.
12. If you find the freezer door
difficult to open just after you have
closed it, don’t worry. This is due to
the pressure difference which will
equalise and allow the door to open
normally after a few moments.
13. You will hear a vacuum sound
just after closing the door. This is quite
normal.
14. When you switch on, the
appliance will not start immediately,
because the appliance
incorporates a protection device in the
electronics - wait for about 5 minutes.

How to Freeze Fresh Foods
• Foods to be frozen must be divided
into portions according to a size to
be consumed, and frozen in separate
packages. In this way, all the food
should be prevented from being re-
frozen by thawing.
• In order to protect the nutritional
value, the aroma and the color of
the foods as much as possible,
vegetables should be boiled for a
short period of time before freezing.
(Boiling is not necessary for foods
such as cucumber, parsley.) Cooking
time of the vegetables frozen in this
way is shortened by 1/3 than that of
the fresh vegetables.
• To extend the storage times of frozen
foods, boiled vegetables must first
be filtered and then hermetically
packaged as in the all types of foods.
• Foods should not be placed in
the freezer compartment without
package.
• The packaging material of the food
to be stored should be air-tight, thick
and durable and should not deform
with cold and humidity. Otherwise,
the food that is hardened by freezing
might pierce the package. Sealing
the package well is also important in
terms of securely storing the food.
The following packaging types are
suitable for use to freeze the food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminum foil,
plastic foil, vacuum bags and cold-
resistant storage containers with caps.
The use of the following types of
packaging is not recommended to
freeze the food;
Packaging paper, parchment
paper,cellophane (gelatin paper),
garbage bag, used bags and shopping
bags.
• Hot foods should not be placed in the
freezer compartment without cooling.
• When placing unfrozen fresh foods in
the freezer compartment, please note
that it does not contact with frozen
foods. Cool-pack (PCM) (if any) can
be placed to the rack immediately
below the quick freezer rack for
preventing them from being getting
warm.
• During the freezing time (24 hours) do
not place other food to the freezer.
• Place your foods to the freezing
shelves or racks by spreading them
so that they will not be cramped (it
is recommended that the packaging
does not come into contact with
each other).
• Frozen foods must be immediately
consumed in a short period of time
after defrosting and must never be
frozen again.
• We recommend you to attach a label
onto the package and write the name
of the foods in the package and the
freezing time.
Foods suitable for freezing:
• Fish and seafood, red and white
meat, poultry, vegetables, fruit,
herbaceous spices, dairy products
(such as cheese, butter and strained
yoghurt), pastries, ready or cooked
meals, potato dishes, souffle and
desserts.

EN
16
Foods not suitable for freezing:
• Yoghurt, sour milk, cream,
mayonnaise, leaved salad, red radish,
grapes, all fruits (such as apple, pears
and peaches).
• For foods to be frozen quickly and
thoroughly, the following specified
amounts per package should not be
exceeded.
-Fruits and vegetables, 0.5-1 kg
-Meat, 1-1.5 kg
• A small amount of foods (maximum
2 kg) can also be frozen without the
use of the quick freezing function.
To obtain the best result, apply the
following instructions:
1. Activate the quick freezing
function 24 hours before placing your
fresh foods.
2. After 24 hours after pressing
the button, first place your food that
you want to freeze to the top shelf with
higher freezing capacity. If you have
food that you have previously stored,
store your fresh foods starting from the
back towards the front.
3. The quick freezing function will
be automatically inactivated after 25
hours.
4. Do not try to freeze a large
quantity of food at a time. Within 24
hours, this product can freeze the
maximum food quantity specified as
«Freezing Capacity … kg/24 hours»
on its type label. It is not convenient to
put more unfrozen/fresh foods to the
freezer compartment than the quantity
specified on the label.
• You can review the Meat and Fish,
Vegetables and Fruits, Dairy Products
tables for placing and storing your
foods in the deep-freezer.
Recommendations for
Preservation of
Frozen Foods
• While purchasing your frozen foods,
make sure that they are frozen at
appropriate temperatures and their
packages are not broken.
• Put the packages on the freezer
compartment as soon as possible
after purchasing them.
• Make sure that the expiration
date indicated on the packaging
is not expired before consuming
the packaged ready meals that
you remove from the freezer
compartment.
Deep Freezer Information
The EN 62552 standard requires
(according to specific measurement
conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of food for
each 100 liter of freezer compartment
volume can be frozen
at a room temperature of 25°C in 24
hours.
Defrosting the frozen foods
Depending on the food diversity and
the purpose of use, a selection can be
made between the following options for
defrosting:
• At room temperature (it is not very
suitable to defrost the food by leaving
it at room temperature for a long
time in terms of maintaining the food
quality)
• In the refrigerator

EN
17
• In the electrical oven (in models with
or without fan)
• In the microwave oven
CAUTION:
• Never put acidic beverages in glass
bottles and cans into your freezer due
to the risk of explosion.
• If there is moisture and abnormal
swelling in the packaging of frozen
foods, it is likely that they were
previously stored in an improper
storage condition and their contents
deteriorated. Do not consume these
foods without checking.
• Since some spices in cooked
meals may change their taste when
exposed to long-term storage
conditions, your frozen foods should
be less seasoned or the desired
spices should be added to the foods
after the thawing process.

• Dissolve one teaspoon of bi-
carbonate in half litre of water. Soak
a cloth with the solution and wrung
it thoroughly. Wipe the interior of the
refrigerator with this cloth and the dry
thoroughly.
• Make sure that no water enters the
lamp housing and other electrical
items.
• If you will not use the refrigerator for a
long period of time, unplug it, remove
all food inside, clean it and leave the
door ajar.
• Check regularly that the door gaskets
are clean. If not, clean them.
• To remove door and body shelves,

• Remove the door shelves by pulling
them up. After cleaning, slide them
from top to bottom to install.

corrosion on such metal surfaces.
6.1 Avoiding bad odours
• Materials that may cause odour
are not used in the production of
our refrigerators. However, due
to inappropriate food preserving
conditions and not cleaning the inner
surface of the refrigerator as required
can bring forth the problem of odour.
Pay attention to following to avoid this
problem:
• Keeping the refrigerator clean is
important. Food residuals, stains, etc.
can cause odour. Therefore, clean
the refrigerator with bi-carbonate
dissolved in water every few months.
Never use detergents or soap.
• Keep the food in closed containers.
Microorganisms spreading out from
uncovered containers can cause
unpleasant odours.
• Never keep the food that have
passed best before dates and spoiled
in the refrigerator.
6.2 Protecting the plastic surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked
meals in your refrigerator in unsealed
containers as they damage the plastic
surfaces of the refrigerator. If oil is spilled
or smeared onto the plastic surfaces,
clean and rinse the relevant part of the
surface at once with warm water.
